Finally, after walking for about 10 minutes in the opposite direction from the main entrance, the elevator appeared.
“Oh, something feels a little off. The information window says the elevator is broken. Is it because it’s broken and some kind of crazy monster is going to pop out again?”
“That makes sense. Gain, you’ve been on the sharp side since earlier. Let’s all pause for a moment. I’ll bring something.”
In fact, no one refuted the fact that this man alone was responsible for about 90% of the party's strength.
Soon after, he came back carrying something... something very big.
“Huh? Bro, what the heck is that? What kind of window is that? Is there something like that?”
“Oh, Seungyeop. I saw it earlier when I was walking by. It was probably some kind of decoration or something, like a pole with a fgpole. If you take off the fg, it becomes a horizontal bar.”
“That... Mr. Jincheol, isn’t it heavy? Even at a gnce, it definitely looks like it weighs over 10kg.”
“Mr. Jincheol, what is that? Just call me hyung, Gain. And didn’t I say that at lunch? I’m not the type of person to swing around like that…
“I think it’s possible now. I have that feeling. It’s probably because of the blessing of that courage. It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say Superman… but it feels like Captain America?”
“Ah… Then I’ll call you hyung. Either way, you’re dependable. If you get hit by something so ignorant, even a monster would be surprised.”
Captain America. It feels like it fits him really well. Since he's Korean, is it Captain Korea?
Just a little bit, I had a feeling that this guy had become more of a monster than most monsters.
Everyone headed towards the elevator with more confident steps than before, as the person in charge of the team's military power began to feel very trustworthy.
Bam-
I opened the elevator door. Fortunately, there was nothing particurly monstrous, and it was surprisingly quite clean.
The meaning of the breakdown could be found by looking at the dashboard.
The 2nd/3rd floor buttons didn't light up. Songi pressed the buttons just in case, but as expected, there was no response.
“Isn’t the 2nd or 3rd floor still inaccessible? Then the basement? Should I go there?”
“Let’s just go somewhere! Let’s go to everything we can and see what’s there. Of course, there’s no way Captain America’s group would have any problems.”
As Eun-sol, who seemed to have gained more confidence, confidently shouted, Jin-cheol, who was next to her, smiled awkwardly. And the moment Song-i was about to press the basement button-
[It is extremely dangerous to go underground now.]
Turuk-
Almost as if he was running out of instinct, he reached out and grabbed Songi's arm. It was such a sudden action that everyone was taken aback.
Everyone was just looking at me, not knowing how to react, and Songi was shaking like a rabbit.
“Sorry, but I just got that notification. It’s the ‘status window’ notification I mentioned earlier at lunch.”
“You mean you’re the only one who can see it? You told me to come to room 105?”
"that's right."
“What does it say? I understand the gist of it, but...”
“It’s extremely dangerous to go underground now.”
“Oh really... Everything about this damn hotel is dangerous.”
“Then, let’s do as you say. Since you told me about No. 105, I think you can trust me. And Gain? I think you can let go of my arm now. If you hold on a little longer, Songi will faint.”
“Oh, sorry. I was just surprised.”
“No, no, no...”
“Gainhyeong, according to the expnation I just heard, how many of those ‘wise man’s advices’ are left?”

“There are zero.”
“0? Oh, did it decrease when you told me not to open the front door earlier?”
After a moment of silence, Eunsol, who was acting like a leader, opened her mouth.
“Then, let’s stop exploring for today. After all… it seems too dangerous to wander around this dangerous and strange pce without Gain’s ‘notification’ count.”
“Is there any way to fill this number?”
“Hyung, the rule is that if you sleep at an inn, you’ll be full in one night. The rule is that if you sleep at an inn, your mana and stamina will all be full.”
National rules. It was a game-like mindset, but in fact, there was no other way. And somehow I thought that it would be the same for me.
Everyone agreed that it was dangerous to explore without the advice of a wise man, and soon everyone returned to Room 105.
“Now… the moment you enter here, everyone automatically separates, right? And then a little ter, at dinner time, you teleport back again?”
“I guess so.”
“Then let’s all go inside and rest for a bit. It’ll be mealtime in about an hour. Let’s rest a bit, wash up, and so on. We’re done looking around for today… In fact, I still don’t know what to do.”
“I don’t think we need to worry about that part any time soon.”
“What do you mean?”
“Haven’t you all felt it since a while ago? We don’t know if it’s a person, a monster, or a ghost, but something is constantly ‘managing’ us. The drinks are just right, and the food, thinking back now, is probably what each of us likes. I don’t think something that ‘manages’ us like this will just leave us alone when we don’t know what to do. It’ll probably say something like ‘Dear Customer’ and tell us to do this and that.”
“That makes sense. In fact, there’s nothing else to do.”
“Yes. And… I’m telling everyone just in case, there will be times today or other times when you don’t really want to eat. In those times, even if you don’t eat, don’t go somewhere else and come to the restaurant during meal times and show your face. In pces like this… I think we need to constantly check on each other’s survival.”
Meal times. If you think about it, this pce is much harder to communicate with each other than you might think. The only pce that can be considered safe is room 105, but once you get into room 105, there's no way to meet each other except for meal times three times a day. In reality, you can just do this with KakaoTalk, but cell phones have been broken for a long time.
I thought we should all meet up periodically.
“Let me make a suggestion. Once you go into room 105, there’s no way for us to see each other. Our cell phones won’t work, and we won’t be able to see each other except during mealtimes. But we might need to share information with each other outside of mealtimes, or check on each other’s survival like you said. So… How about coming out of your room every hour before you go to sleep? For today, aside from mealtimes from 7 to 8:30, you should definitely come out every hour between 6, 9, 10, and 11 to check if anything is going on or if there’s anything you need to do.”
Unexpectedly, Songi and Elena were the first to react.
“I think it’s a really good idea! Honestly, being alone in the hotel until breakfast time is really… so, so scary. It seems like it would be nice to check in with each other even for a little while.”
“I agree. Honestly, I don’t need privacy or anything in this weird pce, so I’d rather just be with you… Even if it means forcing ourselves to meet you often.”
Naturally, everyone agreed to the proposal, and we established two principles of life.
Even when you are not eating, come out and report your survival.
Every hour on the hour, we must gather in front of entrance 105 and check on each other.
After setting these living principles, everyone left through one entrance to go to their respective rooms.

A magnificent bedroom in an absurdly rge mansion, the same as when you first left in the morning. Probably not even the second generation of a wealthy family would easily live in a house like this.
Having this incredibly luxurious mansion all to myself, and the food being amazingly delicious. Isn't this heaven on earth?
I tried to convince myself that there were no man-eating monkeys or other extreme dangers in paradise, but it didn't work.
What on earth did I do wrong to be locked up in this hellish, mysterious pce?
Confusion, fear, worry, anticipation of adventure? In addition to this, I was ughing in vain in the midst of countless turbulent whirlpools, and I noticed that the status screen had been blinking since a while ago.
The wise man's advice should be 0, right? Upon closer inspection, it wasn't the wise man's advice.

I looked at the corresponding space with a strong thought of "Open it!" simir to before, and the window opened with a groan.
As soon as I opened it, a huge amount of strings covered my eyes.
Oh, if I press this in an emergency situation from now on, I'm going to be in big trouble.
If you think about it, there was no such blinking when exploring from the outside.
Perhaps there are features that are only activated when you are in a safe pce.
This is everyone's profile summarized in very short words.
1. Han Ga-in (20) - Wisdom. Freshman at K University 2. Cha Jin-cheol (31) - Courage. Former MMA fighter
3. Yoo Song-i (17) – Friendly. Raises many animals.
4. Elena Ivanov (23) – Justice. Child of an exiled diplomat. Current aspiring actress.
5. Park Seung-yeop (14) - Good luck. A boy of storm and stress
6. Lee Eun-sol (32) - 3rd daughter of the chairman of Bu-gwi and Daeyang Group
Ah. This feels like I'm telling my colleagues today about the 'feelings' and 'relevant facts' I got from seeing them.
I suddenly understood the nature of the 'blessing of wisdom'.
It is about turning vague information you have obtained into certain facts, or warning you of an unknown danger.
[I understood a little about blessings!]
I knew I understood correctly when I saw the notification that came out as if it had been waiting. The content about colleagues was mostly like, "Oh, I thought so. But it's surprising?"
Jincheol, who was listening to such great expressions as Terminator and Captain America, was, as expected, a former martial arts fighter, and Songi, who was momentarily flustered during the conversation earlier, was, as expected, a great lover of animals. It felt so natural that Elena was an aspiring actress. If I had been born with that kind of appearance, I would have had that kind of dream too. Seungyeop, isn't that the case for all men at that age? It's an obvious statement.
However, Eun-sol was honestly surprised. The Daeyang Group is one of the biggest conglomerates in South Korea, and she is the third daughter of such a family... She was much wealthier than I had thought.
At the same time... I honestly wondered what the meaning was. In a hotel where monsters pop out, what meaning would there be in being a second generation chaebol or a dirt spoon? The most meaningful spec would be a former MMA fighter. I fell asleep in a daze, thinking that I had become closer to Jincheol-hyung.
Ah, I should set an arm and go to sleep...
Fortunately, the long day ended without any major incidents, except for a bit of nagging about being a little te for dinner.
